Holiday Stuffin’ Muffins were requested for our Christmas potluck, so Patti decided to make them for Thanksgiving potluck just to practice. This was a simple, easy recipe, but you are only limited by your imagination. You can add cooked sausage, different veggies and seasonings. Patti likes to add dried cranberries for a more festive color. They can easily be made ahead of time, but…
Apple Bacon Smoked Cheddar Pizza because apple and cheddar are always good together. Take it a step farther with smoked Cheddar and bacon! Then pile it on a hot pizza. What a treat!!! Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. Tonight we are cooking on our Ooni (Uuni) 3 Wood Fired Oven but sometimes we…
Fiery Smoked Chuck Roast, I love the Big Beef flavors of chuck roast. And there are tons of things you can do with it. So, with that in mind I am doing a “Fiery” smoked chuck roast today. Bringing flavors from south of the border in with chipotle and jalapenos. After a 5 hour smoke I’ll shred this big boy and use in some…
Smoked Chicken Pizza was hands down this may be the best pizza I have ever had. Can you describe a pizza as “Creamy”? We used Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan sauce for our sauce. Then piled it with shredded Smoked Gouda Cheese like someone else was paying for it! Topped it with cubes of smoked chicken breast and a little sliced green onion. Every bite…
Smoked Beef Shanks have big, beefy flavor and are melting in your mouth tender. We braised these in Chianti wine, beef broth and, of course, garlic and onion. Patti served them on top of her garlic blue cheese mashed potatoes. Beef Shanks are a hearty, savory meal that was just plain delicious with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and I have set one night…
Smoked Italian Stuffed Meatloaf, Ken thought it would be a fine day for meatloaf and he loves cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day. Patti thought it would be a perfect day for Italian food. But, without all the carbs of pasta. We found the perfect compromise: pepperoni and mozzarella stuffed in the middle of a meatloaf! We served it with our garlic and blue…
Caprese Pizza, a mountain of Mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes and basil on an onion garlic crust. If you like Mozzarella cheese you’ll love this pizza!

https://youtu.be/rGNuNN4yp20 Video Easy Smoked Piglet Video Easy Smoked Piglet, we did a 35-pound piglet on the Green Mountain Grill this week. I have to say I was surprised at just how easy it was to do. In fact, the hardest part of the whole process was getting the pig here in Southern California. Like trying to find Tri-Tip in South Carolina, you can do it,…

Cheesy Stuffed Pork Loin wrapped in a bacon weave was moist and delicious. Cooked using the rotisserie on our gas grill with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti used box rice adding some special extras. We made this the night before and popped it on the grill after Church. Easy cheesy. We used cheddar cheese in the rice, but you can use your favorite cheese and/or…
Filet Mignon on Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms Filet Mignon on Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms was fancy enough for Mother’s Day and easy enough for any day. Patti made a simple stuffing for the mushrooms of smoked garlic, sweet onions and pepper bacon then topped them with Filet Mignon steaks. Ken loves his steaks with a “Kiss of Smoke” and so tender that you don’t need teeth and…
Crying Tiger Hot Sauce is a simple sweet-and-sour sauce with a little heat. I used our Mumbo sauce as a base for this sauce. You can easily adjust this sauce form mild to hot. I don’t think I can cook without garlic and I added more of our smoked garlic for “A Kiss of Smoked Garlic”. Easy to make and goes fast so…
